Southern Living

Project Description

We were selected to design Southern Living
Magazine’s first Green Idea House, The
Davidson Gap, in Whisper Mountain, a new
eco-friendly development in Madison County,
NC. Its environmentally responsible design
is LEED Gold Certified from the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC).
Bill Allison, a LEED accredited architect,
designed the home and worked closely with
local agencies to ensure that the house was
designed and built in an environmentally
responsible manner. In keeping with the
firm’s traditional house plans, Bill was
resolved that this would be a house that
would look like any other Allison Ramsey
design. The firm always strives to produce
architecture that is timeless, traditional, and
tied to the region. A sentiment, Bill notes,
‘that is part of the foundation for green
building.
